Chapter 543: I’m Taking Them All! (1/2)
GDK 543: I’m Taking Them All!
Rubble swirled through the air. Bloody light rays pierced the skies. Remnant explosions continued without end. In just an instant, the stone forest had turned into an entirely different place.
Tens of thousands of abyssal creatures, at practically the same instance the magical matrix was activated, we’re stopped of their lives. Under the cover of the Canopy of Necromancy, those bloody rays remained as violent and berserk as before. As it split bodies apart, it also reduced the victims’ bones into shrapnel, stabbing through anyone in its immediate surroundings.
It was hell on earth, complete with dead bodies and skeletal remains piled up in the stone forest. The scent of blood reeked. Resilient souls that carried irreconcilable hatred did not dissipate but lingered within the stone forest. Some sort of peculiar transformation was occurring with those souls…
The souls of the dead, under the effects of the formation, did not immediately dissipate from between the heaven and earth after losing vitality. Instead, they turned into blood-red shadows that drifted about. Carrying boundless resentment, they would nip those who had yet to die into shreds, causing the already terrifying scene to turn even more dreadful…
In just a brief period of time, the originally static and inert stone forest turned to a machine of massacre, a perfect trifecta of demonic arts, necromancy magic, edict of destruction. They all turned into blood-red shadows that shrieked as they roamed the stone forest, ready to reap the lives of those who entered it.
The originally clamorous party around Han Shuo hushed momentarily, lips sealed shut. The crowd on top of the wide War Demon Valley city wall turned unusually silent while the war raged on!
Crosius, Brakyah, Brayshaw, the six Rakshas, five visiting advisors, Jasper, and everyone else wore stupefied faces as they foolishly gazed at the hellhole ahead. They witnessed as tens of thousands of living beings were destroyed in those few moments. Fear, shock and disbelief translated into chills down their spines… Uncommon for the likes of such folk.
“I’ll be damned… I didn’t expect it to be this powerful. Hehe, well you can’t say I’ve wasted any of those materials now, can you?” Han Shuo’s jaws dropped too as he was slightly shocked by the terrifying scene caused by the matrix he had architected. The frightening devastation caused by the combination of necromancy magic, the edicts of destruction, and demonic arts formations – three martial arts which did not all originate from the same universe but were just as vicious and cruel. Han Shuo could hardly breathe for a moment.
Tens of thousands of those so-called elite experts from Venomfang Castle, in just an instant, were consumed by Han Shuo’s stone forest, with not a single survivor! Such formidable power was simply horrifying!
“Mis… Mister Han Shuo, this, this is the ruin caused by the magical matrix?” Crosius was choking up in his speech. His deep eyes were empty and at a loss, seemingly still unable to process the scene before him.
“Erm, it should be. So, Lord Crosius, are the results up to your satisfaction?” Han Shuo asked with full composure, before curving his lips to make a bantering smile and winking.
Crosius was speechless.
“You have won my respect,” Brayshaw stared at Han Shuo with blazing, glittering eyes, sending more chills down Han Shuo’s spine. Meanwhile, Brakyah’s body, which was as flexible as that of a snake, turned as stiff as a corpse that had been embalmed for a thousand years. His body was stuck in a bizarre posture of advancing towards the battlefield. He wore a terrified expression of disbelief as he stared blankly at those wildly dancing bloody shadows within the stone forest.
After a long while, Brakyah revealed an ugly smile and mumbled to himself, “It seems that I really will call him daddy. This man, is he even mortal?”
The whole War Demon Valley suddenly turned silent. Each and every one of them wore stupefied faces. Their gazes towards Han Shuo were filled with reverence and respect. A character who could destroy tens of thousands of lives in just a moment was much, much more terrifying compared to those devilish Shadow Warriors!
“Retreat, retreat! Dammit, don’t enter that stone forest! What the hell is going on?!” said Yeki as he flew over aboard a warhawk. At this moment, his tenacious heart turned heavy as though it had been it filled with lead. It was obvious that he felt an unrestrainable fright from his shivering voice of anxiousness and helplessness. There even seemed to be a hint of sobbing to it.
“Yeki, what is going on? Didn’t you tell me that War Demon Valley only had this tiny bit of strength? And that we could very easily take down the Valley?” As the head of the Shadow Warriors, he had seen and experienced all kinds of situations throughout his career for so many years. The scene where tens of thousands of experts were massacred in just a moment, that was the first time he had encountered anything like that — he, too, lost his head!
Even for this blood-soaked butcher who treated life with insignificance, when he saw the appalling scene of devastation below him, he felt a scalp-numbing, flustered feeling.
A human silhouette soared into the sky. The body was badly mangled. Large chunks of flesh loosely hung onto its skeleton, as though they would fall off at any moment…
